On June 22, at the Shanghai offline Meetup hosted by the openEuler community and organized by Kubuds Tech, Mr. Wang Junqiang, Co-initiator of the LLVM Parallel Universe and CTO of Kubuds Tech, introduced the latest progress of the LLVM Parallel Universe and publicly unveiled the three-phase objectives of Project “Quantum Leap Path” for the first time.

Wang Junqiang first reviewed the background of the LLVM Parallel Universe Plan and briefly introduced the progress made over the past year, supported by the openEuler RISC-V SIG and the openEuler Compiler SIG. (Engineer Zhou Jiacheng from the OERV team of the Institute of Software, Chinese Academy of Sciences, provided a detailed report later on the latest achievements of the OERV team in the 24.03 LTS version.)

Subsequently, Wang Junqiang introduced the newly launched openKylin LLVM Parallel Universe Plan this month and elaborated on the J126 intern position established under the ‘RISC-V Prosperity 2036 Open Source Intern Joint Recruitment and Training Program’. He called for more university students to join the highly interesting LLVM Parallel Universe project.

KarsierOS is a downstream commercial distribution derived from the achievements of the openEuler LLVM Parallel Universe by Kubuds Tech, scheduled for official release at the RISC-V China Summit on August 21. This might be the first commercial distribution based on the Parallel Universe outcomes. Kubuds Tech provides commercial paid technical support, including services like whole board Bringup adaptation and optimization, vendor-specific instruction set enablement acceleration; it supports robotics scenarios with full-system optimization and debugging capabilities for ROS and ROS2; optionally provides CVE security maintenance services for over five years; and finally, offers optional subscriptions for AI deployment and TPU/NPU/GPGPU integration optimization services.

Finally, the most captivating part of this announcement, Mr. Wang Junqiang publicly unveiled the Project “Quantum Leap Path” for the first time: aiming to achieve, within approximately five years, the freedom to on-demand switch compilers, linkers, and fundamental libraries across the “full-stack software supply chain.” This is an exceptionally ambitious and challenging goal, involving the decoupling of thousands of fundamental software components. Upon realization, it could completely eliminate the dependency lock of open-source operating system software repositories on specific toolchains and C standard libraries, thereby unleashing unprecedented possibilities and opportunities in the field of automated dependency analysis and configuration for operating systems. This would also fully demonstrate that the “Quantum Leap Path” open-source team and community possess the comprehension, maintenance, modification, secondary development, and community maintenance capabilities for all foundational components, including toolchains, fundamental libraries, OS kernels, and graphics stacks.
